I'm a 52 year old nurse living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I've struggled with my weight my entire life, and have been losing the same 5-15 pounds repeatedly, only to gain 7-20 pounds back. When I broke my ankle in 2008, I had terrible difficulty hauling my weight around on crutches, and vowed that I would change. Well, it's taken me some time, but here I am back on Sparkpeople, and back on track, committed to a healthy lifestyle.

I'm a 52 year old nurse living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I've struggled with my weight my entire life, and have been losing the same 5-15 pounds repeatedly, only to gain 7-20 pounds back.

Well, it's taken me some time, but here I am back on Sparkpeople, and back on track, committed to a healthy lifestyle.
My goal for this year is to lose just 30 pounds--just a drop in the bucket compared to what I need to lose to be my "desired" weight, but I figure if I can lose 30 pounds and keep it off this year, I will have done more than I have managed for the last several years. You have to start somewhere!

Fitness Minutes: 2,124
My Goals:
To lose weight (at least 30 pounds)
To become stronger, more flexible and more fit.
To learn to eat to fuel my body, rather than to satisfy my emotions.
By losing weight and becoming more fit, I hope to have more energy for daily life, and be able to do some hiking in the mountains without having too much pain.
My Program:
I am not following a specific "diet", but am focusing on portion control, mindful snacking, and healthy food choices.
I am committing to doing at least 10 minutes of exercise every day, to start. If I get more done, great, but I figure if I can't find time to do 10 minutes of something there is no hope for me at all!
